I know I'm nuts about nuts. I am replacing my cross member but the bolts I am using have one nut holding the square plate onto it. When I put this bolt,plate,nut set up through the frame with the new bushings, what type/size nut is it? Are all 4 nuts the same is really the simpler question.
 
So if I have 4 extra bolts with nuts, can I use the nuts that are attached to them?
 
Just to be clear, the "bolts" are actually studs, threaded on both ends. If you have a set of these studs then the nuts on them should be identical to what came off your car.
 
Thanks for the clarification on that Steve. I should have called them out correctly. I've always seen these studs with one nut and the plate on them and not the other side. I've recently been given a box of them so I cleaned up an extra set to use on the rebuild. If I can strip another set and scavange 4 nuts, I'm good. Thanks
